Before we get into the bountiful aspects of today’s page, let me please remind you that the Boys of Gutters (anyone else hear a Don Henley song?) will be attending The Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo this weekend!

Sohmer, Lar, Becker & Stone will all be on hand with Gutters books, prints and other goodies to tickle your fancy at Booth #925, under Blind Ferret Entertainment. Which you will notice is also on this map:

Now, as for today’s page, for a long time it seemed like taking a shot a Zenoscope just kinda wasn’t fair. I’m sure they’re a great bunch of folks, but I bet even Alan Moore is uncomfortable with some of the things they’ve done with Public Domain characters.

Whenever I see a new cover from Zenoscope I can’t help but think “This is what Michael Bay would read if he read comics.” Which clearly he doesn’t, based on his films.

But please don’t take that as me being anti-women in comics, or anti-breast for that matter. I’m a great fan of books with strong female leads and in the real world I’m a huge fan of breasts. Especially on women. But, there does come a time when the two meet that even I, the most jaded of commentators, have to say “hmmmmm… maybe not.”

Today’s ample page comes to us from Gavin Smith:
